Tcl interpreter to source rc file into.
<P></DL>
<H3><A NAME="M5">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
<B>Tcl_SourceRCFile</B> is used to source the Tcl rc file at startup.
It is typically invoked by <A HREF="../TclLib/Tcl_Main.htm">Tcl_Main</A> or <A HREF="../TkLib/Tk_Main.htm">Tk_Main</A>.  The name of the file
sourced is obtained from the global variable <B>tcl_rcFileName</B> in
the interpreter given by <I>interp</I>.  If this variable is not
defined, or if the file it indicates cannot be found, no action is
taken.
